Jackson Mahomes has become the talk of the NFL world for the wrong reasons. As the younger sibling of Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, there has been a lot of attention that has been on the recent controversy he’s reportedly involved in. Recent reports paint a rather negative picture of the situation. For starters, the 22-year-old was far from ‘Mr.Popular’ among NFL fans.

The internet creator has often been criticized for the content he posts online. However, recent reports of the accusations flung his way are far more serious. Accused of assaulting a waiter and forcibly kissing an older woman, Jackson Mahomes’ public image has taken a big blow.
